What is PeerTube? | JoinPeerTube
joinpeertube.org
A free software to take back control of your videos! With more than 600,000 hosted videos, viewed more than 70 millions times and 150,000 users, PeerTube is the decentralized free software alternative to videos platforms developed by Framasoft

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube’s appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

    Nothing is wrong with that at all. But you’re never going to get enough content to increase your total subscriber base as long as your creators have to spend most of their time working other jobs.

      What if I’m not manufacturing content, what if I just have things I want to say? Why can’t we have one fucking platform that isn’t monetized?

        Sure. Absolutely.

        But that’s not what this thread is about and that isn’t what I was replying to. If you want to start a thread saying “Why PeerTube doesn’t need to grow to be a great place.” knock yourself out. I agree with you.

        But this thread specifically is about, and I quote…

        …possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

        And for that, you need monetization.

        Stay on topic.
